Wine Review: Anarchy has broken out and has risen to new heights. Puns aside, this is the best Anarchy that I have had in the last 2 or 3 vintages. This year’s vintage opens with a black pepper, anise, and cranberry like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is balanced, has nicely integrated and intensely flavored spicy blackberry like flavors. Its complexity adds notes of cherry vanilla and raspberry. It’s a very interesting wine. The finish is dry, with tingly tannins that linger for a bit. This would be a perfect wine with a pulled pork sandwich or beef brisket. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: I give you ANARCHY... I wanted to think outside the box and create an unconventional Rhone Blend. The blend is based on Syrah for that velvet mouthfeel and rich fruit, Old Vine Zin for spice and that brambly backbone, and Mourvedre provides some anise and makes the whole blend resonate. If you like the Rhone this wine will blow you away!
